Fodor's Review:

The restaurant features the same clean lines and airy spaces of the string of designer stores that surround it. It's apparent that the young, hip customers who shop at Chanel, Gucci, and Ferragamo are fortifying themselves with Budatai's designer food after a day of exhausting their credit cards. The menu features pork dumplings made with shaved truffles and topped with flying-fish roe, which adds just the right amount of saltiness. Entrées include soy-glazed salmon with coconut hash, and veal steak with lobster mashed potatoes. Sunday brunch adds interesting items to the usual lunch menu, such as pistachio French toast with seared foie gras; with a $35 price tag, it tops almost everything on the dinner menu.

  • Keep in mind: Reservations essential.
  • Credit Cards: AE, MC, V
